[PATCH 1/4] firewire: fw-sbp2: use device generation, not card generation

[Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>]

There was a small window where a login or reconnect job could use an
already updated card generation with an outdated node ID.  We have to
use the fw_device.generation here, not the fw_card.generation, because
the generation must never be newer than the node ID when we emit a
transaction.  This cannot be guaranteed with fw_card.generation.

Furthermore, the target's and initiator's node IDs can be obtained from
fw_device and fw_card.  Dereferencing their underlying topology objects
is not necessary.

Rework of patch "firewire: fw-sbp2: enforce read order of device
generation and node ID" from November 1 2007.

This code also needs barriers to work precisely as intended.  They will
be added by a subsequent patch which consistently updates readers and
writers of .generation and .node_id.
